Question

In what ways has Quebec's language policy affected the city?

Answer 1

I seriously doubt that people working in the tourist industry in Quebec City refuse to speak English to their non-French customers, do you?

When your business and/or livelihood depends exclusively on foreign or out of town folks, I guess you don't have much of a choice...

Now if you're talking about Quebec City's residents who have nothing to do with foreigners, then that's a totally different story altogether!

They might come across as antisocial or unfriendly towards people who cannot utter one single word of French!

Can you seriously blame them?

Answer 2

Well, for one thing, it has made sure that no German tourists would go there; why would anyone travel to a place where people refuse to speak English to foreign tourists.
